A few comments and thoughts about crime books set on the mainland of Europe, with titbits about real eurocrime. We hear so much about crime in the USA that many people imagine that Europe is a crime free zone. In crime fiction Europe has become a real challenger to the Americans, but unfortunately real life crime especially in Britain is increasing as well.

I enjoyed your review, Norm, and I agree with your reservation.As to the techno intenet wizadry stuff, I don't usually follow this kind of thing in books either (apart from, eg, in the one I have just read where they take a page to explain what an IP address is, that well known way of finding out who sent the nasty emails). I suspect that quite often, nor does the author, I think they put a load of semi-random buzzwords in to make it sound plausible, but not necessarily making any sense.
